Eggplants that do not soak up so much oil?

[mensplace]

I had read somewhere that eggplants from the east have a flesh that is dense. This would be a great feature for me as it seems most absorb oil or other fluids like a sponge. Combine that with bitterness and thick skins and the wife won't touch the stuff! SO, Your recommmendations if there are varities that meet such needs. I love eggplants, but not bitter, oil filled sponges whether stir fried or otherwise.
